Sheepy Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 hi all,Sorry if this has been asked before, but we are waiting for L.hand door skin for the mk2 spitfire, (on back order in all dealers) and we want it done this year! :'(Could you tell me if a later 1500 would fit, is it the same shape/dimensions?I know it has different holes for lock and handle, but I can sort that out, as we can get one of them.So frustrating, when some of the parts are on B.O, we are also waiting for the lower floor support (L shaped bracket at front, onto outrigger) that's also b.o.Thanks for your helpShaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 All the doors are the same shape. You should be able to find some skins that have no holes cut.Personally if you have to use a pre-cut door, I would use a MkIII door rather than a MkIV door as the holes that you havve to fill in are smaller and there is less chance of distortion. Tried eBay? or the smaller suppliers may have something tucked away;Chic Doig, Sportscar Supplies, Anglian Triumph, Spitfire Graveyard, Dave Picton, Southern Triumph, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepy Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks for the replies chaps, I will ask about, but time is against us, as it's booked in for acid dipping, was in may, but no moved back to June to try and give us some leeway.Thanks againShaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cureton Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Don't forget to try Fitchetts as there is a good chance they produce them themselves (they bought some of the original Triumph presses). They don't have a web site so you will have to call - 01952 619585 or 01952 620434 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Steve, I think it's fitchets that all the dealers are waiting for! All the ones we asked, said they are on back order.CheersShaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
